Raymond A. Cummings, age 80 of Stratford, beloved husband of Carol A. Phillips Cummings, passed away on Monday, May 20, 2019. Born in Norwalk, he was the son of the late Alexander and Helen Szendrey Cummings. Ray was a graduate of Tufts University, and made his career as an electrical engineer. Always ready to try something new, Ray had many hobbies and interests such as hiking, skiing, and photography. In his earlier days, Ray could often be found taking apart and reassembling the engine on a favorite car or Jeep. He was an accomplished pianist, and enjoyed classical pieces by favorite composers Chopin and Debussy. An avid sailor, Ray enjoyed racing and sailing with Shore & Country Club and the Power Squadron, and leisure sails with his family. Ray was known for his quick wit, and his amusing antics kept family and friends laughing. He also had a gentle side, as his wife Carol can attest. They were blessed to celebrate their 39th wedding anniversary on February 24th of this year. Ray loved and cared deeply for his family; they meant the world to him.
